7 Affordable Gifts for Whiskey Lovers

We all have that one person in our friend circle who is a self-groomed whiskey aficionado. They don’t just gulp whiskey down, they know the subtleties of the taste and aroma very well.

And unlike most of us, they can make out the difference between a good scotch from rye or bourbon. Did you know that the Scottish and Canadian Whisky is spelled without an ‘e’ at the end, whereas all others are spelled as whiskey? Perhaps not.

But your favorite whiskey lover must have known this long back.( Smirk)

Now it’s great to have a friend so advanced in their tastes, educating you about the minute differences regarding their favorite malt. But it can get equally frustrating to decide upon a gift for them.

A gift that catches their fancy and something they treasure. There is a tonne of options to choose from, but you need to make sure it’s not something everyone has already gifted them.

For example, their shelves must already be adorned with the classic Glencairn Whiskey Glasses designed for the perfect sip. Or they must have themselves used Whiskey Wedges that help retain your drink’s full flavor.

Similarly Teraforma Whiskey Stones, Leather Coasters or ice ball maker molds. Trust me, these are great gifts for a novice lover or an amateur like me. But that whiskey fanatic in your life may have already familiarised themselves with all this.

So what do we do now? Check this list out that we have compiled. Here we are with a list of cocky yet valuable gifts that the whiskey lover in your life will thank you for.

And the best part? They won’t even burn a hole through your pockets!

A complete set of lovely Aromatic Bitters

Caution: Not your average gift! Extremely concentrated in nature, these aromatic bitters like the Angostura Classic Bitters are generally not ingested undiluted. They are only used in small amounts as the key flavoring agent in special cocktails.

These bitters with up to 44.7% alcohol by volume, can be called as an acquired taste and will be perfect for that slow-whiskey-drinking-aficionado in your life. The Smokey Whiskey Sour Cocktail Syrup is also an option to choose from in this category.

This syrup is a rendition of the old classic and is made by smoking honey over bourbon barrel staves. It’s perfect for making many tantalizing cocktails at home.

Do you want your friend to stop drinking for a while and yet don’t want to rob them of their happy place? Why not give them a chance to imitate the flavors of their favorite drink into the ambiance of their home!

Gift them whiskey scented candles that last for about 34 hours, or the tea candles set for a smaller version. Whiskey and Pine, Maple and Whiskey, Weed and Whiskey, or the cult favorite Irish Whiskey Candles.
